various dutch (netherlands) media mentioned the anti-gay children movie on jw.org,.
and gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual organizations are shocked, and some gay people.
are reporting the movie to the local police.. the official spokesman of the dutch branch office in emmen declared that the movie is.
Where is the freedom of speech and freedom of religion?
It's for JW children only. I cannot think of any other tactful way to convey our religious belief that homosexuality, although it's viewed as good/normal/acceptable in many of today's societies, the God of the Bible does not approve. End of story.

with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.
damn it!!!
am i alone in this resistance???!!!.
All they want from the older folk is their $$$. Who cares if they can keep up with the technology, just hand over your inheritance when you die.

The elder who gave the part said that it's the goal here in the States that all publishers use a 'smart' electronic device from now on for meetings and preaching. He encouraged all to follow the tutorial offered in the JW app.
The pressure is on. I already feel my usual "go along to get along", cave in attitude coming on.
And, yes... I am a technophobe, and find 'social media' just abhorrent; won't catch me dead on Twitter/Facebook/Youtube/Instagram/whatever else out there. Always have been, however, always end up using whatever technology is absolutely necessary for our times; this is how I ended up with all these electronic toys already. Sure helps that hubby and others in my immediate family/friends are so tech savvy and on board with everything 'techno', so I ride their coattails.
God dammit with this technology bound world!!!

The F.O.G. sure is thick inside the WTBTS.
I have the electronic toys already (iPhone(s), iPad, tablet, HP notebook). The thing is that I really like/prefer stuff in print; Hey, I'm old and really enjoy reading the paper printed stuff!!!

i remember many years back a fellow ministerial servant saying this to me.
he felt that even if jehovah’s witnesses were not the only true religion, the regimented routine of meetings and field service and the strict rules and enforcement provided a beneficial structure for his life.
at the time i thought if this wasn’t “the truth”, i’d have no need for all that “structure”.
I have simply accepted that my death will come 1st rather than my liberation.
What makes it even worse is that my family is so JW hardcore that I'm dragged in to take part in assemblies, traveling around, Warwick crap.
In my old age, I'm hanging on to sanity by a thin thread. I fantasize with one evening telling hubby that I just want a different life without the Organization and just dealing with whatever comes afterwards.
It's just a fantasy as I'm too old to start all over. What's coming next for me is illness/death, and to be alone without help for those events is not acceptable.

Londo 111,
My most sincere congratulations. I can only daydream of the progress you've made in leaving behind this rat race of a religious Org. You do not know how heavy it wears on my subconscious to be faking something I do not feel just for the sake of keeping a good marriage, immediate family and all my life-long friends.
In the Autumn of my life it's creating depression and these feelings of worthlessness and wishing death upon myself because many a times I just can't take the double life anymore. Today is definitely one of those days, which have become more common lately.
I envy you. May you continue to be well and happy.

i mean this with all due respect, i would like to hear from genuine people who think jw have it wrong and then what is the truth?.
im not talking about silly little quibbles here and there.. is jehovah real?
the the bible is word?
One nice alternative is not being pressured at every turn to keep up with this Org.
Now all must go to intelligent devices in order to keep up!!! I can't stand it much longer!!!
DY
